Signs That Western Culture Is Degenerating

[LowDown]

Univ. of Wisconsin protesters pledge to shut campus down over budget cuts. “Lane Hall, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, took the microphone and told the restless, angry crowd that democracy cannot work as it currently stands. Lane went on to say there are other systems that America should use, even if history has an extremely negative view of them, prompting rowdy cheers from most in the crowd.”

Ready to throw democracy under the bus because they don't get their way in labor negotiations.

Stewart is a journalist: an irresponsible and unprofessional one.

He is especially beloved by others in the journo game. . . .

The hacks have a special love for Stewart because he’s their id. They don’t just think he’s funny, they thrill to his every sarcastic quip. They wish they could get away with being so one-sided, snarky and dismissive.

They wish they could skip over all the boring phone calls and the due diligence and the pretend fairness and just blurt out to their ideological enemies in Stewart style, “What the f–k is wrong with you?”

We no longer have a serious news media. The nightly news has all the substance of Ladies' Home Journal.

Copenhagen Killer Was Yet Another Case of ‘Known Wolf’ Terrorism.

While the identity of the killer who attacked a free speech event and a synagogue yesterday in Copenhagen has not yet been released, media are now reporting that the suspect is “known to authorities” in what appears to be yet another case of what I have termed “Known Wolf” terrorism.

The liberal West has already surrendered to radical Islam. Increasing anti-Semitism and pro-Palestinian sentiment is nothing more than their identification with the aggressors.

The Democrats’ green energy dream is becoming their nightmare. Other Solyndras are coming to light, the latest being Sapphire Energy. Its pond-scum-based biofuel still costs over $26 a gallon, but that doesn’t matter when your executives give almost solely to Democrats.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that after $104.5 million in stimulus and other Energy and Agriculture Department funds for a New Mexico facility, it can boast just 36 new jobs. UC Berkeley’s Energy Biosciences Institute says it’ll take a decade before we know if algae-based fuel can compete with gas.

The Washington Post recently found “$3.9 billion in federal grants and financing flowed to 21 companies backed by firms with connections to five Obama administration staffers and advisers.”

Like every other project seemingly undertaken for the public good, green energy is just a front for graft and corruption.

In 1975, the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country. Forty years later the dramatic consequences of this experiment emerge: violent crime has increased by 300%.

If one looks at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.

Having let the savages in, the Swedish government doesn't seem to know what to do and is reluctant to discuss it. They have already surrendered.

1. I think it's funny that your evidence that we lack a "serious news media" is John Stewart, comedian. A more apt example would be Fox News, which actually claims to be serious, but I think we all know why you didn't use them as an example.

2. Everything else you said is just the usual, unremarkable garbage including your racist comment about "savages". Oh and don't bother, I already know. You aren't racist. Your comment about savages in reference to statistics about multiculturalism was taken out of context. Right?

I am ready to do it for other reasons, but hey, doesn't matter how we get to post-modernity as long as we get there.

We no longer have a serious news media. The nightly news has all the substance of Ladies' Home Journal.

Then you should look to other outlets than the nightly news.

Very Orwellian.

Doesn't have to be. Under the Obama administration, the policies have been more utility supplier oriented than end-consumer oriented. It could be easily corrected with a different POTUS.

The gunman was born in Sweden so he wasn't "Let in" by anyone.

I think a bigger sign is people using opinion pieces to try and show evidence of anything other than people having nutty opinions. But welcome to the bandwagon, people have been predicting the end of western civilization since about the day after the start of western civilization.

Surprised that the impact of excessive political correctness madness didn't get an example (of which many abound BTW), all caused by what may have been a good idea when taken in moderation, however, this particular bit of stupidity far too often taken far too excess.
